The craziest auto-reverse audio cassette mechanism ever

Want to see an amazing feat of mechanical engineering and construction? Look no further than this AKAI CS-55D tape deck. This particular machine is unique because of its auto-reverse function which sucks the tape back into the machine and physically rotates it to Side B so that you can listen to the other side of the tape without getting up from your chair.

The video above shows the inside of the machine in all of its gadget gloriousness. Pretty awesome.
